. After crude oil, natural gas is the United States second biggest fuel source and supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.

(A) After crude oil, natural gas is the United States second biggest fuel source and supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.

(B) Natural gas, after crude oil the United States second biggest fuel source, supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.

(C) Being supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America, natural gas, the United States second biggest fuel source after crude oil.

(D) Natural gas, the United States’ second biggest fuel source after crude oil, is supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.
(E) Natural gas is supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America, being the United States’ second biggest fuel source after crude oil.
正确答案是D。对于选项A的有一点解答我不是太明白。A一是and前后不对称，这很明显。但解释还说after crude oil 位置不好，这点我不大明白。希望牛牛解答~~谢谢

After crude oil应该是修饰the United States second biggest fuel source 的，意思是除了crude oil，Natural gas就是第二大的资源了。

放在句首修饰整个句子或者主语，位置不妥。应该离所修饰对象越近越好

谢谢你的回答，但还是有点疑问。排在oil后的是gas，那为什么after ~~就不能修饰gas？

venus2elva

藕的理解是，after oil做了整句话的状语，因此也修饰了supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America，不合逻辑。

请指正。
